Oxford and Stratford

The central courtyard at Oxford University

The Swan Theatre in Stratford. Romeo and Juliet was on the playbill.

The author exits Shakepeare's birthplace. The family was somewhat well-to-do.

The river Avon

The final resting place of the Bard, in Trinity Church

Oh man, what an incredible trip. I am so jealous I could spit nails, and the womanchild says that she officially hates you now because "her school doesn't do anything excellent like that." I am looking forward to more.

Did you go to Ann Hathaway's house too? Climb the ramparts or whatever they are at Oxford? Eat pub grub?

My first Shakepeare play ever was Hamlet at Straford, directed by a very young Peter Hall, with Hamlet played by a very gorgeous David Warner. (What can I say; I was 13. Although I doubt that my powers of appreciation have waned. ) A couple of years later we went to see Troilus and Cressida there. Now that was a bit less digestible. Thanks to google, I found the hamlet info: http://members.aol.com/xtralinks/petrhall/hamcover.htm
